    I appreciate this film more at my time of life and in my situation (widowed) than I would have just a few years ago. It moves at the pace of life. 12 years 3 months ago

    I’ve been wanting to see this movie for a while now, since I keep hearing it’s one of the best movies ever made. Though, I also heard all of Ozu’s movies are really slowly paced, so I was I kept putting it off. But finally watched it. You really have to make the conscious decision that you’re going to watch the movie the whole way through no matter what, because about 10 minutes in I really wanted to change the channel because it really slowly paced. HOWEVER, it was kind of amazing how emotionally involved I was by the end of the movie. It kind of sneaks up on you. I’ve found myself thinking about it a lot after watching it, especially the relationship between the parents and daughter-in-law. I want to watch it again.

    I recommend it, but only if you’re ok with a very slow paced movie. It’s a very patient movie, which is it’s strength, though can feel like a weakness at first.
